Swiss concert promoter ABC Productions has banned backpacks from all its concerts in Switzerland in response to the terror attack at the Manchester Arena concert venue two weeks ago.

Twenty-two people were killed and many more injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in the northern UK city on May 22^nd.

In a statement, ABC Productions said it is “aware of its great responsibility in safety matters.”

“As a consequence of the tragic events in the Manchester Arena as well as the constantly changing demands of touring safety and artist management, ABC Productions has decided to implement a rigorous backpack and bag ban on all shows.”

Only handbags smaller than A5 size (14.8 cm × 21 cm) will be allowed in concerts. …

That’s right, ban backpacks from concerts, but not Mohammedans from your country.

That.

Reminds me of a recent knife attack by a Moslem in an IKEA store. IKEA responded by taking the knives from their displays in the store.

Since due to political correctness, we aren’t allowed to say we have a problem with Islam or the Moslems, we instead focus on the knife, or the backpack, or other ancillary issues related to their slaughters, rather than the core issue.
